00:00Social media, how do you balance it?
00:05I don't know how to balance it.
00:10It's just a sacrifice.
00:14Ever since grade 7, I'm an elementary student athlete.
00:19It's how you manage your time and your priorities.
00:25I'm a bit of a haggard.
00:28Because I'm teaching kids.
00:31I'm sorry.
00:33What do you teach at JPP?
00:39I teach grade 3.
00:42And science.
00:44The things that help kids.
00:47I'm just kidding.
00:50Does anyone recognize you as a teacher?
00:54Yes.
00:55Actually, all of them.
00:56All of the kids.
00:58I was helped by Ma'am Valedan, my cooperating teacher.
01:03She helped me avoid being a player.
01:09So when I'm there, I'm really a teacher.
01:12Summer teacher.
01:14Where do you teach?
01:16I'll tell you.
01:17Just kidding.
01:19Juan helped me at SM San Lazaro.
01:23Do you see any similarities?
01:26Or are you happy when you're playing volleyball and teaching kids?
01:31Of course.
01:33It's the same.
01:34I'm happy, but I'm also angry.
01:37They're both the same.
01:39The kid is just more annoying.
01:41Compared to your teammates?
01:43Yes.
01:44My teammates are nice.
